Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral part of day-to-day operations at the Nebraska Humane Society. Our 10,000-plus annual adoptions could not happen without the hundreds of dedicated volunteers who help us reunite lost pets, provide education, and care for and enrich the lives of our temporary residents. Your help becomes hope!

You’re invited to join the team and make a difference in the lives of the animals and the people who love them.

Volunteer Guidelines

Our minimum age for volunteering is 17.

We ask that you commit to at least eight hours per month.

Please plan on volunteering for at least 6 months.

If this sounds like the “job” for you, you’ll need to attend a volunteer orientation and the subsequent training day.

Humane Education: Work with our humane educators to facilitate programs for young pet-lovers.

Information Desk: Front and center in the lobby. How do I adopt? Where are the dogs? You’ll greet guests and help guide them around the shelter.

Kitten Nursery: Feed and socialize young, orphaned kittens in order to help them transition during the weaning process. Kittens in this area need to be fed 4 to 5 times daily, so we ask that volunteers in this area commit to a specified time period each week

Lost and Found: Help reunite lost pets with their families.

Mobile Outreach: Assist in the adoption of animals at PetSmart and on the PAW.
